Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR laps 'Ring in record 7:22.1

We're not terribly surprised that the Dodge Viper ACR has apparently made it around the famed German racing circuit faster than pretty much anything else you'll find on a dealer's lot. After all, the ACR is a race car, as evidenced by the video that Motor Trend has posted. The most venomous Viper has done the deed in 7:22, fast enough to make grown men cry.
this result is FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, who pilots a Leon TFSi for SEAT Team Holland. On his fourth attempt, he established an amazing 7:22.1 (first two laps-a 7:42 and a 7:35 and third 7:24).

check out the gear stick rattling about

This was the drivers' third lap in this car for the first time. The Viper ACR is a street legal, OEM, record setting, naturally aspirated, pussy gettin piece of machinery. Complaining about it doesn't change the record or the fact that this car put the Euros in their place.

That is such a vicious car! A shame the gears weren't adapted to the course! It could've gotten at least 3 more seconds if the gear register was lowered!

Yeah that's a nice ride along!

@crazynitro10 He rides the limiter to keep from shifting and having to shift back down a second later. Though rough on equipment is actually faster.

the wing dosent make it a racecar!......any car in its class (wing or not) has diffuser, spoilers, and various other aides that add in downforce. the biggest thing u can see is the smooth large, flat carbon composite sheet under the cars body that directs airflow and adds suction to the road. so anyone arguing that the wing is what makes it unfair and a LEGIT RACECAR is a dumbass

[crazynitro10]

he make a few minor mistakes shifting and hitting the limiter and I think at the end it all could've made a difference in the track time

@critic1046 Yes, I know what ACR stands for. But it is not a race car. the ACR-X on the other hand is.
